  4. Hi all,Ok so some guys dont wear gloves when climbing,me i need gloves or my hands take a hiding.Ive tried all sorts of gloves,too many to name,so can anyone recommend a good pair that will not get caught up in the zigzag/hitch,not make your hands smell like a badgers ass and last longer than 3 trees? Thanks in advance Oh-ive tried cutting off finger and thumb..dont like it in the wet
  5. 020av was a great saw,its only fault was it was a bitch to service
  6. Yes do try! Its fun:001_tt2: remember to take your husky 540xp to finish the job when the 201 packs in though

  12. Just get rid of it as you would any other hedge cut it and chip/haul it,just be aware of the dangers it poses and stop if you have any adverse reactions.
  13. Thanks reg top work,great advice,lots to think about.
  14. If your working outside well ventilated its fine,its only an issue when your enclosed such as in a lane with high sides or shovelling the stuff in the box fr a while but i have seen some people take a bad skin reaction to it, kinda like red welts on the arms. Just warning people and makin them aware of the potential dangers
